Summary

This study tests a modified version of sleeve gastrectomy (a common weight-loss surgery) to see if it can reduce acid reflux, a frequent side effect. About 44 adults with obesity and GERD will be randomly assigned to the standard or modified surgery. Researchers will measure changes in acid exposure and pressure in the esophagus to see if the new approach works better.
